The claimants owned land designated as green belt. They sought its exclusion from the green belt and designation for employment purposes. At the enquiry, the inspector agreed, and recommended accordingly. The council took the land from the green belt, but allocated it within the UDP as open space. They refused to re-open the enquiry.
Held: The decision was quashed. The designation as open space had not been considered at the enquiry, and the council had failed to consider properly the landowners representations.
